Description

Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf ein Kraftfahrzeug mit einem benachbart einer Fahrbahn verlaufenden Bugendteil, das mit Luftleitkanälen verbunden ist, die zur Kühlung der Bremsen dienen.The invention relates to a motor vehicle with a bent part running adjacent to a roadway, which is connected to air guiding channels which serve to cool the brakes.

Bei einer bekannten Anordnung der eingangs genannten Gattung (Fachbuch "Aerodynamik des Automobils" von Wolf-Heinrich Hucho, Vogel-Verlag, Seiten 246 und 247, Bild 6.28) weist das durch eine Schürze dargestellte Bugendteil stutzenförmig ausgebildete Kühllufteintrittsöffnungen auf, an die jeweils ein einen Luftleitkanal bildender Schlauch angeschlossen ist, dessen freies Ende auf die Bremse des benachbarten Rades gerichtet ist. Dieser Anordnung haftet der Nachteil an, daß die Montage des Luftleitkanals zeitaufwendig ist, da der Schlauch einerseits mit der Schürze und anderer­seits mit einem Fahrwerks-oder Aufbauteil verbunden ist. Außerdem sind zusätzliche Befestigungselemente (Schlauchschellen, Schrauben, Halter und dergleichen) zur Halterung des Schlauches erforderlich. Darüber hinaus ist dieses Kraftfahrzeug im Bugbereich zur Fahrbahn hin offen ausgebildet, wodurch an dem unter dem Fahrzeug hindurchströmenden Luftstrom Ver­wirbelungen auftreten, die den Luftwiderstandsbeiwert erhöhen.In a known arrangement of the type mentioned at the beginning (specialist book "Aerodynamics of the automobile" by Wolf-Heinrich Hucho, Vogel-Verlag, pages 246 and 247, Figure 6.28), the bent part represented by an apron has cooling air inlet openings in the form of a nozzle, to each of which there is one Air duct forming hose is connected, the free end of which is directed to the brake of the adjacent wheel. This arrangement has the disadvantage that the assembly of the air duct is time-consuming since the hose is connected on the one hand to the apron and on the other hand to a chassis or body part. In addition, additional fastening elements (hose clamps, screws, holders and the like) are required to hold the hose. In addition, this motor vehicle is designed to be open towards the road in the bow region, as a result of which turbulences occur in the air flow flowing under the vehicle, which increase the coefficient of drag.

Aufgabe der Erfindung ist es, an einem benachbart einer Fahrbahn ver­laufenden Bugendteil eines Kraftfahrzeuges solche Vorkehrungen zu treffen, daß bei gutem cw-Wert des Fahrzeuges eine im Aufbau und in der Montage einfache Vorrichtung zur Kühlung der Bremsen geschaffen wird.The object of the invention is to take such precautions on a bent part of a motor vehicle running adjacent to a roadway that, with a good cd value of the vehicle, a device for cooling the brakes which is simple in construction and assembly is created.

Erfindungsgemäß wird diese Aufgabe durch die kennzeichnenden Merkmale des Anspruchs 1 gelöst. Weitere, die Erfindung in vorteilhafter Weise ausge­staltende Merkmale beinhalten die Unteransprüche.According to the invention, this object is achieved by the characterizing features of claim 1. Further features which advantageously design the invention include the subclaims.

Die mit der Erfindung hauptsächlich erzielten Vorteile sind darin zu sehen, daß durch die einstückige Ausbildung vom Bugteil und Luftleitkanälen eine im Aufbau und in der Montage einfache Vorrichtung zur Kühlung der Bremsen geschaffen wird. Durch die Anordnung der Luftleitkanäle in einem eine Unterbodenverkleidung bildenden Abschnitt des Bugspoilers wird der Luftwiderstandsbeiwert des Fahrzeuges reduziert.The main advantages achieved with the invention can be seen in the fact that the one-piece design of the bow part and air guiding channels creates a device for cooling the brakes that is simple in construction and assembly. The aerodynamic drag coefficient of the vehicle is reduced by the arrangement of the air guiding channels in a section of the front spoiler forming an underbody paneling.

Der in Fig. 1 gezeigte Personenwagen 1 weist einen Aufbau 2 und Räder 3 auf. Der Aufbau 2 umfaßt in einem Bugendbereich 4 eine Motorhaube 5, eine aus elastischem Werkstoff gefertigte Verkleidung 6, Kotflügel 7 und ein benachbart einer Fahrbahn 8 verlaufendes Bugendteil 9.The passenger car 1 shown in FIG. 1 has a body 2 and wheels 3. The structure 2 comprises in a bending area 4 a bonnet 5, a covering 6 made of elastic material, fenders 7 and a bending part 9 running adjacent to a roadway 8.

Zur Kühlung der an jedem Rad 3 angeordneten Bremse 10 sind am Bugendteil 9 zwei mit Abstand zu einer Fahrzeugmittellängsebene C-C verlaufende Luftleitkanäle 11 vorgesehen, deren freie Enden 12 mittelbar oder unmittel­bar auf die Bremsen 10 gerichtet sind (Fig. 2).To cool the brake 10 arranged on each wheel 3, two air guide channels 11 are provided on the bending part 9, which run at a distance from a central longitudinal plane C-C, the free ends 12 of which are directed directly or indirectly at the brakes 10 (FIG. 2).

Erfindungsgemäß sind die Luftleitkanale 11 einstückig mit dem Bugteil 9 aus­gebildet, wobei jeder Luftleitkanal 11 zumindest über einen Teilbereich A seiner Längserstreckung durch eine zur Fahrbahn 8 hin offene Rinne 13 des Bugteils 9 dargestellt ist. Gemäß Fig. 5 weist die Rinne 13 einen etwa U-förmig profilierten Querschnitt auf, der sich in Strömungsrichtung B der Kühlluft erweitert.According to the invention, the air guide channels 11 are formed in one piece with the front part 9, each air guide channel 11 being shown at least over a partial area A of its longitudinal extent by a groove 13 of the front part 9 open towards the roadway 8. 5, the channel 13 has an approximately U-shaped cross-section which widens in the flow direction B of the cooling air.

Die Rinne 13 wird durch zwei aufrecht verlaufende, seitliche Stege 14, 15 und eine obere Begrenzungswand 16 festgelegt, die die beiden Stege 14, 15 miteinander verbindet (Fig. 5). Die Stege 14, 15 weisen am hinteren Ende 12 der Rinne 13 ihre größte Höhe auf und laufen - in Fahrtrichtung gesehen - ­keilförmig aus. In der Draufsicht erweitern sich die beiden Stege 14, 15 zu den Radern 3 hin trichterförmig (Fig. 2). Die Breite der Rinne 13 richtet sich nach der benötigten Luftmenge und kann empirisch ermittelt werden. Die Luftleitkanäle 11 können entweder parallel zu der Längsmittelebene C-C oder aber winkelig zu dieser verlaufen (Fig. 2).The channel 13 is fixed by two upright, lateral webs 14, 15 and an upper boundary wall 16 which connects the two webs 14, 15 to one another (FIG. 5). The webs 14, 15 have their greatest height at the rear end 12 of the channel 13 and run out in a wedge shape as seen in the direction of travel. In the top view, the two webs 14, 15 expand in a funnel shape towards the wheels 3 (FIG. 2). The width of the channel 13 depends on the amount of air required and can be determined empirically. The air duct 11 can either run parallel to the longitudinal center plane C-C or at an angle to it (Fig. 2).

Die obere Begrenzungswand 16 weist im Bereich ihres vorderen Endes 17 ihren geringsten Abstand (Maß D) zur Fahrbahn 8 auf und steigt danach sanft nach hinten an (konvexer Formverlauf zur Fahrbahn 8). Gemäß den Fig. 1 und 2 wird das Bugendteil 9 durch einen Spoiler 18 gebildet, der unterhalb der Verkleidung 6 angeordnet und an dieser mittels nicht näher gezeigter Befestigungselemente in Lage gehalten ist. Im Längsschnitt gesehen, weist die Unterseite des Spoilers 18 einen nach außen gerichteten, konvexen Formverlauf auf. Der Spoiler 18 erstreckt sich über einen wesentlichen Teil der Breite des Fahrzeugs und bildet abschnittsweise eine Unterbodenver­kleidung 19. Entsprechend Fig. 6 stellt der Spoiler 18 den vorderen Abschnitt einer mehrteiligen Unterbodenverkleidung 19 dar, die außerdem noch Abschnitte 20, 21 umfaßt. Die beiden hinter dem Spoiler 18 liegenden Abschnitte 20, 21 der Unterbodenverkleidung 19 sind etwa horizontal ausgerichtet.The upper boundary wall 16 has its smallest distance (dimension D) from the roadway 8 in the region of its front end 17 and then rises gently to the rear (convex shape to the roadway 8). 1 and 2, the bent part 9 is formed by a spoiler 18, which is arranged below the cladding 6 and is held in position on the latter by means of fastening elements (not shown). Seen in longitudinal section, the underside of the spoiler 18 has an outwardly convex shape. The spoiler 18 extends over a substantial part of the width of the vehicle and forms sections of an underbody panel 19. According to FIG. 6, the spoiler 18 represents the front section of a multi-part underbody panel 19 which also includes sections 20, 21. The two sections 20, 21 of the underbody paneling 19 lying behind the spoiler 18 are oriented approximately horizontally.

In Fig. 2 ist hinter dem freien Ende 12 des Luftleitkanals 11 an einem nicht dargestellten Radführungsglied ein schaufelartiges Umlenkelement 22 vorgesehen, durch das die Kühlluft nach dem Durchströmen der Rinne 13 zu den Bremsen 10 hin geleitet wird und diese kühlt. Das Umlenkelement 22 fluchtet etwa mit dem inneren Steg 15 der Rinne 13 (Fig. 2). Die Rinne 13 endet im Bereich des Rades 3. Es besteht aber auch die Möglichkeit, auf ein derartiges Umlenkelement 22 zu verzichten und die Rinne 13 nach hinten hin derart zu verlängern, daß die Bremsen 10 direkt angeströmt werden.In Fig. 2 a blade-like deflection element 22 is provided behind the free end 12 of the air duct 11 on a wheel guide member, not shown, through which the cooling air is guided after flowing through the channel 13 to the brakes 10 and cools them. The deflection element 22 is approximately aligned with the inner web 15 of the channel 13 (FIG. 2). The channel 13 ends in the area of the wheel 3. However, there is also the possibility of dispensing with such a deflection element 22 and of extending the channel 13 towards the rear in such a way that the brakes 10 are directly blown against.

Der Luftleitkanal 11 kann entweder über seine gesamte Längserstreckung zur Fahrbahn 8 hin offen ausgebildet sein (nicht dargestellt) oder aber benachbart seinem hinteren Ende 12 durch einen tragflügelartig profilierten Steg 23 nach unten hin geschlossen sein. Dieser Steg 23 ist zu einer horizontalen Hilfsebene E-E derart angestellt, daß die Kühlluft nach oben hin in Richtung Vorderachse bzw. Bremse 10 umgelenkt wird.The air duct 11 can either be designed to be open over its entire longitudinal extent towards the carriageway 8 (not shown), or else it can be closed downward adjacent to its rear end 12 by a web 23 profiled in the manner of a wing. This web 23 is adjusted to a horizontal auxiliary plane E-E such that the cooling air is deflected upwards in the direction of the front axle or brake 10.
